Same thing here but dad never used a respirator. I have some nasty allergies and walking into a house that 'had' smokers in it will mess me up and quick.

cigs.....I took a couple from my mom's purse when I was 10 and dad found out. Dad, if it's so bad, why are you smoking!? Edit: Never did pick up the habit but did smoke cigars for a bit and even that didn't last very long.

Pretty sure I put primer on the E coat.....been lots of years now but the last time I saw the car, the fender was still covered with good looking paint. Just glad she finally got rid of it. Hated working on that pos. It did run pretty strong for a turbo 4 banger though...

Bought a new fender for my daughter's Pitiful Thing (PT Cruiser) and only scuffed the E coat. It wasn't from AMD but can't remember who it was from. Painted it the factory white BC/CC and it stayed on until she decided to get rid of that POS which was many years later. All work is tiresome to...

I drank too much yesterday too but guessing I didn't drink as much :rofl:

Luckily I never had to work on any....guess I'm lucky since I really don't know but it looked like something I didn't care to do. We had a can line at the refinery until everything went to plastic. IIRC, we converted the line for filling plastic bottles but for some reason, it got shut down.

My dad was the same way when I found a 52 Ford 2dr sedan with a flathead V8 that ran but smoked and the interior was shot but the body was straight and rust free. He said no way I'm gonna let you park a junker in from of my house! Dad.....it runs and doesn't look bad and it's only 50 bucks! Dad...

I saw the advertisements on regular TV (ABC) weeks ago.....I watch the news on ABC sometimes and saw the ad.

Have the DVR set to record the series. Seems like just about everything he does is pretty good.....

:rofl:

:rofl: There's no 'inflatables' here! :lol:

That looks close to a Hippo chew toy that I have lol

Did that when young and dumb while in the military in Germany....but it wasn't doing that when I left the base heading down to the Moselle River. The road had about an inch of snow on it and no one had driven on it yet and the snow flakes looked like ping pong balls coming down! Stopped that...

Yup the primer makes it easier but never had any problems with starting up a cold engine without a choke. Problem with that primer bulb is once it's cracked, you're dead in the water unless you have an extra in the tool box. I fired up my Gravely yesterday after replacing the 15 year old fuel...

The prairie dog in my avatar didn't mind the ride at all and was absolutely happy in my shirt and looking out and around but one of her cage mates hated the truck (the quiet truck) and had to put him in a pet carrier. Some years back I had a mixed breed terrier and anyone that drove into the...

Hard to believe that they put those primer bulb on equipment that's made to be in ice cold weather!! Is it the 'soft' bulb or those cheap clear looking ones? I have a very old Toro lawn mower and it uses a soft one that you can't see through. Had the mower since the mid/late 80's and have only...

The temp where I am dropped from 77 to 70 in about 20 minutes and the southerly breeze is now calm....that means the front is passing by or really close plus it's pouring rain and thundering. Temps in the morning are supposed to be around 30.

:rofl: Then we have today.....69 when I got up and the high is supposed to be 77-78 and in the morning, 31 with a high tomorrow of 39 and windy.

Didn't have much experience with icy/snowy roads until I spent 2 winters in Germany but have a good deal of experience in the wet from teaching myself car control on empty wet parking lots in the late 60's but every time it got cold enough to snow here, I was out in it! But during that freeze...

Don't remember the lows that I had at my place but some areas saw single digit temps....anyway, here's a link to the timeline of the multiday events. https://environmentamerica.org/texas/center/articles/the-texas-freeze-timeline-of-events/

Don't think you would say that about the state wide power outages during a hard freeze in 21. The cold lasted 9 days with a couple of them being bitterly cold with freezing rain. Don't remember what the actual lows were. I grew up in the north east but have been here since 63 and don't remember...

60 here this morning......temps have been in the low to mid 70's last few days but Monday morning it's supposed to be in the low 30's.

Oh for sure! The one in it was stock....we quit running the car when the transmission started giving up the ghost but I thought the car might have a bit better 60' with 4.88's in the back lol. Also having 360 heads on the teen didn't help the CR any either. Dang thing didn't want to run at all...

:rofl:

Depending on the build, I will advance most street type cams 4 degrees.....all you are doing is shifting the power band lower in the rpm range. So far I've never had a lazy engine doing that. There was one teen that was very lazy down low but a buddy installed the .480 lift cam using the dot...

Oh wow....cancer sucks big time! My condolences to you and the rest of the family and congratulations on the new addition!!

My 66 Belvedere was the slowest car on the track one night but it was consistent and was cutting good and sometimes better than good lights. Went 7 rounds for the win....the fastest car in the brackets (only 1 bracket that night due to a poor turnout) cut the worse light he had all night and...

A 9.30 1/8th would be a mid 14 second pass in the 1/4 During my machinist apprenticeship, we were taught that what makes up a bolt are two nuts that are threaded onto each end of a stud and a cap screw is a screw with a fixed head on one end and they can have full threads or partial...

I saw the same thing.....some don't realize that it takes money to run and maintain a web site..... Wow....average donation is 77 bucks! That's pretty good....but can only imagine what the hospital cost is alone! Wish I could donate a lot more.

I looked it over too and decided to donate.....and there will be no memorial/funeral for me either. Just fry my butt and stick me in a drawer in the Houston National Cemetary....
